Liverpool injury news on Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Bradley, Ryan Gravenberch, Alisson Becker and Joe Gomez ahead of the Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield.
Arne Slot has provided a Liverpool injury update ahead of the Merseyside derby against Everton.
The Reds return to action after the international break aiming to bounce back after a disappointing week before the hiatus. Slot’s side were eliminated from the Champions League at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain on penalties before suffering a 2-1 defeat by Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
Liverpool’s attention turns back to the Premier League title charge. As things stand, they sit 12 points clear at the summit of the table with nine fixtures remaining. They prepare for of their most important games of the campaign in terms of supporters’ interest as Everton make the short trip across Stanley Park on Wednesday night (8pm BST).
However, head coach Slot has admitted that he will again be without his two recognised right-back options. Trent Alexander-Arnold remains unavailable with an ankle injury sustained against PSG and Conor Bradley is still recovering from a hamstring problem. However, the latter has returned to training and he could make a squad return.
Meanwhile, Ryan Gravenberch pulled out of Netherlands duty before both of their Nations League fixtures against Spain. The midfielder has started every league game so far this term.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker left Brazil’s camp following a head collision with Davidson Sanchez in a 2-1 triumph. Alisson was following concussion protocol and requires one more assessment this afternoon.
Joe Gomez remains unavailable as he works his way back from hamstring surgery.
